Slow-roasted pork in Marsh Baldon

DIY versus a catered hog roast

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Hog roast hire for your event in Marsh Baldon

Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Marsh Baldon. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. For sports clubs and societies and corporate events, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw for your guests.

Somewhere as small as Marsh Baldon, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

About the food

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works

Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Marsh Baldon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Marsh Baldon: your questions answered

Could you cook in Nuneham Courtenay?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

How far is Marsh Baldon from London?

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What meats can we have?

It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Who serves?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Do we need a big space?

Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.

Do you cover Marsh Baldon?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Marsh Baldon and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
